  • Great show and pure “wild chaos”

    This show is becoming my new favorite podcast. Bam is an incredible person and with such brings other great people with him. I love hearing all the wild stories from military service to hiding in a tree from a lion in Africa. I’m excited to see who else will be on the show.
